Oh Happy Day!!!
So today I went to my local AD with the wife to get her wedding rings cleaned and inspected.
As usual, I'm drooling over the Rolex cases dreaming of someday getting another. They have a large selection of almost every model in stock and but not the next one on my list. My wife is talking with the gentelman who is cleaning and inspecting her rings. He notices I'm over looking at the Rolexes and she proceeds to tell him our running joke, which is......I'm not even allowed to say the word "Watch". Not even the sound "Wa" is allowed to come out of my mouth.   Anyway, he asks her if she knows what one I'm looking for? She knows I'm in love with the green Sub and tells him. (It's been my iPad wallpaper for 9 months) He says I've got one in the safe, you want me to show it to him? She laughs and says go ahead but remember what I just told you. So I look up and see the guy walking over with the plastic box. You know the one. The clear one that holds the watch wraped up with styrofoam? He opens it and there it is!!! Holy cow my face lit up. I put it on and ran over to show my wife. After a few minutes she could see just how much I liked this thing and then the happy words came out of here mouth. "If you really like it, go ahead" OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!!  Without further delay

As they say "all's well that ends well." I kind of had a similar
experience getting my first Rolex and left the store as surprised and happy as you must be. That LV is killer! wear it in good health and give your wife an extra hug and kiss.

Wooohooo! My wife would never-ever-ever-ever give me the okay on something like that. I've read a few posts on here lately of wives treating/spoiling their husbands.... Maybe it's time to trade up....

Nice one!
